Hey Everyone, It has been a minute or two. If you are still here, thank you I took a trip out to Anna Maris Island on the west coast of Florida. Keep Going...
Great video Chris! Thank you for uploading. You have real creative talent please continue the good work as with TH-cam you never know where it will lead! Exciting times xx 😘
The video was lovely. You have a nice face to look at and a nice voice to listen to. Thank you. My vacation plans just went in the trash because of Ian (the storm). So I was hoping to get a peek at some other florida islands. To possibly save the vacation. Thank you again and wishing you many happy travels and better health.
Thank you so much Bonnie! I really appreciate that. I’m sorry to hear that your vacation plans were cancelled but glad you are safe. Anna Maria island is definitely worth a visit if you get the chance. Thanks again!
Sorry Chris - late on this one. Great to have a video from you - and of course still here to watch it. Thoroughly enjoy every video you put out. Hope you’re doing good; see you in the next one. Dan 🍻
Lovely scenes of the island. Very nice video and whenever you manage to post a video is great. I am a lot older than you but have gone through similar. It is only in the past few years I heard of “perfection paralysis”. A bit more to it than those two words. Learning about that has helped me move forward and try to follow the next saying which is “completion is better than perfection”. Hang in there
Thank you so much Gillian. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. I understand exactly what you are saying and I’m glad to hear you have been able to find ways of coping with it for yourself. Thanks again for watching and I hope you are well!
Chris, I found you quite some time ago through The Lodge Guys. I enjoy all the content you choose to give us and when I got the notification of a new video I dropped whatever I was doing to watch it. Such a beautiful place to film and visit....maybe one day I will visit myself. Thank you for seeing this video through and posting it, you are SO talented!!! I wish you much success in your other projects as well.
Thank you so much Julie! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. It really is a beautiful part of Florida to dis it. If you ever get the chance I think you would really enjoy a visit there. Thank you for your kind comment. Hope you are well.
Chris another amazing vlog your footage as just awesome, I think your great & I don’t know you personally I found you through the lodge guys to, your fab and doing a great job I put myself down sometimes to so I know how you feel. Keep going be strong we love ya.
Thanks so much Clare. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. We are all our own worst critics! Thank you again and hope you’re doing well.
Hey Chris, great to see you back and again with a top quality vlog. So sorry to hear you not been feeling your best. You know we are all our own worst critics and can never see what everyone else sees. We returned from Florida last week and had amazing time. We visited your town and totally loved it. We agreed that we would love to live in Winter Garden ! We checked out Rosallie French cafe and enjoyed drinks sat outside Plant St Market. Such a great laid back vibe, wish we could have spent the whole day there.
Hey Bob. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. So glad you had a great trip and that you enjoyed visiting Winter Garden! Rosalie is amazing :). Thanks again and hope you’re doing well.
Amazing content as per usual Chris, your vlogs are truly beautiful to watch, even the golf cart chat! I’m really pleased you’ve come back to TH-cam and hopefully you’ll be able cheer us Brits up with the amazing imagery that you create! Hope we get to see some of your professional work too soon! Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks so much Julian. I really appreciate you watching and glad to hear that you enjoy them. 😂 i got absolutely soaked moments after turning the camera off lol. Hopefully I will get the chance to upload again a lot sooner next time. Thanks again and hope you are well. :)
Keep on trucking Chris, life deals some hard blows, but someone said to me that god won't send you nothing we can't handle, do I believe this? Not sure, but loving the video, a place I would like to visit but now its highly unlikely, even coming back to Florida is probably unlikely so you filming this gives me a chance to see things I may not be able to see for real in the future. Love your honesty and keep up the good work and enjoy life! btw love your accent, I can hear an English west country twang I think, I know you are from good ol' blighty. Not sure where you are from in England , but you definitely have a mixture of accents. You are so talented!
Thanks so much Kath, I really appreciate it. I’m glad to hear you enjoy the videos. Lol. Ok so my accent. I’m originally from Richmond in London and I grew up in London and the surrounding areas, but before living in Florida, I lived in Spain for a few years and then Texas, so my accent is a little all over the place at times. It can go from English sounding to having a definite twang lol. Thank you again and hope you’re doing well :)
Thanks so much Tom, I really appreciate it. AMI is a beautiful place, I would like to have shown more, but the weather was very on and off. Thanks again and hope you are well!
Great to see you again Chris, I love your content, it's honest and interesting. Great music , great drone shots, great pace. Don't be shy of being on camera, you're a cool guy lost in Florida - enjoy yourself. We see so many videos made by tourists and visitors to Orlando it's so lovely that you take us to other beautiful parts of central Florida. I'm back in Jan/Feb 2023 and will defiantly head over to Anna Maria Island. keep them coming.
Hey, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am so glad to hear you enjoy the videos. I think you will love a trip out to the island if you can make it! It is about 2.5 hours drive from Orlando. Thanks again and hope you are well. :)
Ahh so lovely to see you back 😊 glad you are feeling better, amazing content as always ,you are so talented and lovely to hear your new ventures well deserved recognition 💕
It is so great to see you back Chris. You are one talented guy and we love watching your vlogs. You’ve such a calming voice. Never give up what your doing, it’s amazing ❤️❤️
It’s lovely to see you back Chris : ) Anyone who has watched so much as a clip of your TH-cam content knows you are destined for bigger things, it’s great to hear of the new opportunities coming your way. Don’t ever feel you need to explain why you’ve not uploaded for a while, we’re out here watching your phenomenal content for free, you have never asked for anything in return, upload as little or as often as feels right for you. As always, this one was well worth the wait, I’m blown away every time I see one of your vlogs, Anna Maria Island has just been added to next year’s trip, you’re costing me a bloody fortune with these vlogs!! Take care how you go.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I really appreciate it. AMI is a really beautiful place and I would highly recommend a day or 2 out there. Even in the storm the sunset was beautiful. Hope you are well! :)
Great to see you back bud , bean point and anne marie beach looks so chill and the island in general is amazing.Great share love your videos keep them coming 🙂👍
Great to see you Chris. You are very talented and good luck with all the projects you are working on. Can’t wait to see what the future brings for you.
Excited to see you back Chris. You have been missed. I have so much respect for you opening up and sharing your personal struggles. You have a kind heart and I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the photography projects. The vlog was great as usual because you have talent and make your viewers feel comfortable and present. Take care. Hope to see you sooner than later 😊
Thank you so much Wendy. I really appreciate you watching and leaving such a nice comment. I am having a lot of fun with photography and video and even if nothing comes of it, just the creating part of it is enough. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I hope to have another a lot sooner next time. Hope you are well. :)
In those 126 days I’ve frequently checked to see if I’ve missed something! Loved it as usual Now……let’s not wait another 126 days! Remove any doubts you have as everything I’ve seen shows you’re a very talented young man Keep going 👊
Hi Chris, thank you again for another great video. Your videos are a great standard and we can see you have talent. We have booked an extended stay in Florida next winter and had booked 12 nights on AMI, I am so pleased we have, it looks fantastic. We are still here in the background of your life and appreciate that you do these videos as you are able. Never apologise, it’s your life, live it as best as you can, we wish you the best with your new projects and health. Thank you for doing what you do. 😀
Thank you so much Carol. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. You will really love the island. it is so laid back with plenty of spots to eat and drink and lovely beaches. The golf cart was a great way to get around and really not too expensive. Thank you again! 🙂
I am a silent watcher. But always think your videos are so well done. That said I can't even make a tik tok! I am a manager of surgery in s hospital and it is incredibly pressured. I struggle a lot feeling periods of not being well but like you say in my adult life now I know I have responsibility so manage to cope. Hope you are coming back out the other side. Xx
Thank you so much Ange. I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching along too! I know a lot of people struggle with many things and so I just felt mentioning it might help to talk about it briefly. Thank you again and hope you are doing well :)
Hi Chris, I just wanted to wish you and the family all the best for the new year and hope your Christmas was awesome as well. Take care, mate. All the best from Matthew and the whole Dodd family
Hi Chris, just back from Florida. We had a beach day in Indian rock. Wish we had travelled the extra few miles. Didn't realise that anna maria island was just down the road. Even on a stormy day you make it look amazing. 😏 Your time and effort in making the videos really does show, they are always excellent. you don't realise how much joy your videos bring to the people who watch them. Keep going.😃
Hey Matthew. I totally missed this comment. Thank you so much for always being so supportive , I really appreciate it. Hope you had the best time out here!! 🙌🏼
So glad to see you back Chris. I love your Instagram content. You are crazy talented and have a great eye for fantastic composition. That said, it's always extra special when I see you've dropped a video. The scenes you capture combined with your edits are so beautiful plus we get the bonus of your personal thoughts and narration. You are so hard on yourself as I guess most of us are, but I wish you could see your talent through our eyes. We love all your content. You are so talented and truly worthy of the successes coming your way. Keep Going!
Hi Chris. Good to see you back on YT. I’m pleased to hear that things are happening for you with the photography/videography….you clearly have a passion for it.. i’m sure others have said this before but YOU are creative and YOU are talented so its not surprising that they have looked at your work and signed you up. What you do on your channel will be different from what they can with a full crew, but your audience will no doubt benefit from the new techniques you learn. Please continue to look after yourself and your relationships. Listen to your body and get help where you can. Loving this video by the way….AMI tourist board should use this! All the very best xx
Hi Hayley. Firstly, thanks so much for watching the videos and for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I have had a few small opportunities come along and I’m exploring them. It’s exciting, but I’m just enjoying making things at the moment more than anything. If you ever get the chance to visit AMI, i highly recommend it. Thank you again and I hope you are doing well. :)
I found you while researching Winter Garden and Mount Dora (considering moving to the area). I’m so glad for your introductions and tips. Your videos have an artistic quality that is very rare on TH-cam; I enjoy watching you and relish your creativity. Proof? I am writing this from the patio at Rosalie (almond croissant is to die for and the latte is top drawer). Don’t brush off my positive comments, I am a designer with 5 Emmy Awards who also serves as a judge. I see you. I appreciate what you share of yourself too. Pursue your passion, whatever that may be.
Hey John. Thank you so much for watching. I really do appreciate it. I’m glad to hear you made a visit to winter garden and enjoyed it. Rosalie is the best! Positive comments are something I do struggle with, but I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a complimentary comment! I hope you are well :)
Dude, we are so glad you are back. Thank you so much for your update and sharing whats going on in your life. Thanks for reminding us that its sometimes to be ok not being ok. I look forward always to your amazing, personal and well produced content. I recently bought a home in orlando and your my number one source of info about florida seen through the eyes of a Brit. Dont feel guilty about 126 days.....we will be here patiently waiting for when your ok with your next great video you want to share.
Thanks so much Chris, I really appreciate that. Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment. That is really exciting news that you bought a place in Orlando. I hope it all works out great for you. Hope you are doing well and see you in the next one. Chris
Glad to see you are back and thank you for your honestly. Life sucks sometimes and throws curve balls and challenges , but where one door closes another one opens and this appears to be the case with you . I can understand you being self critical , you're an artist , and a talented one at that , and you are your harshest critic, but by your increasing number of subscribers it's proof enough that we can see the talent in you . Your photography and edgy music make your vlogs interesting to watch and enjoy. Keep doing what you are doing and well done on the avenues that have opened up for you to shine
Thank you so much Julie. Life can indeed get rough at times and I know many people feel that, so I thought a small update was worthwhile. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you are doing well :)
Sounds like your videography gig next year will be a great experience .Glad you are back making great vlogs for us and that you are feeling ready to come back.
So good to see you back Chris. Visited Anna Maria island a few years back it’s a beautiful beach , not sure if it’s the same restaurant you went to but we had a lovely time with family and friends. Take it easy and thank you for great content xx
Thank you so much Janis, I appreciate it. It really is a beautiful place isn't it. The Sandbar restaurant was right there on the sand of Anna Maria beach. The food was really good, though I obviously did not show it lol! Thanks so much again and hope you are well!
Chris it’s great to see you back. We were worried about you we all love your vlogs on utube so full of great interesting films no wonder you have new venture in that field you are so talented. We hope to see you back soon if not good luck in Mexico etc., loads of feel good hugs from Billingham family
Ah thank you so much guys. I really do appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I will try and make something new a little bit quicker than last time lol! Hope you are all well.
Sometimes we need to take time to heal without judgment for as long as it takes and make no apologies. True talent comes from admitting mistakes and being humbled by what other artists can do. You have the talent and confidence even if you can’t admit it to yourself but that’s okay. 😉. Always love watching your videos and always love seeing you🍻. Our next trip to the Sunshine State will involve some day trips along the East Coast in search of food, drink, and unique places. Hopefully we will see you next year ❤️😘.
Hey Sarah! How are you!!! Thank you so much as always for always being so supportive. Sorry we could not find time to meet up on your recent trip, so we will definitely make up for it on your next one! Hope you are doing well and thank you again. Chris ❤️
Lovely to see you back on You Tube. I have just sent your vlog about dealing with Genie+ to friends going to Orlando as it is the best one I have seen on the subject. Sorry to hear you have had problems with your health and understand how you feel as my son also has similar problems in the past. So glad you have had some work on the back of your excellent vlogs so keep doing them as we love them.
Thank you so much. It feels nice to have finally uploaded something to the channel after a long break. Thank you for watching and thank you so much for sharing my other video, I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well :)
Hey Chris 🤗 we are our own worst critics and we all do that to ourselves. Thank you for being open and sharing with us - it’s definitely 100% helpful. I always love your videos and think they are amazing - the footage you capture and how you put it together always makes me smile. I absolutely loved the drone footage and aerial views - truly beautiful ☺️ It would be a sad day if you stopped making TH-cam videos but at the end of the day you’ve got to do what is right for you so whatever you decide to do in the future that’s for the best will be the right decision. Take care of yourself 🥰 xxx
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you both watching and leaving a comment. I am a relatively private person, but I felt maybe explaining a little bit might be of benefit to other people who might feel that way sometimes. Anna Maria island really is beautiful and tbh it is not that difficult to make it look beautiful as it kinda does the work for you lol. I will not stop, I just need to find a rhythm that works and will try and make another video slightly faster next time :). Thanks again and hope you are well.
This was a really great vlog, not only through your camera work (which is always great) but through your honesty about how you are and the importance of giving yourself time to recharge. It’s nice to see you back and hearing about all your upcoming projects, can’t wait to watch the future vlogs!
Thank you so much Jennie. I really appreciate it. I just needed a bit of a reset and hopefully the next video will not take quite so long lol! Thanks again and hope you are doing well
Hi Chris great to see you back in the channel, the 126 days were worth waiting for 😀 stunning views of the island looked so nice, well worth making a visit next time we are out that way. Have missed you but totally understand where your coming from, but have followed you also on IG so know you are doing great with your other projects. Like you say “keep going” 👋🏻😊
Hey Lisa. Thanks so much for watching, as always, I really appreciate it. The island is beautiful and well worth a visit. Thanks for sticking around and I’ll try and make another one sooner this time :). Thanks for all of the support :))
May have been 126 days Chris but as always well worth the wait, fantastic drone footage just brilliant as always, nice to have you back 😄 hope Jen and Luna are well x
Hi Chris, glad to see you back, it’s great to see you and I love the way, your open and honest, with how your feeling! It’s mad how you can be so friendly, open and yet you suffer inside! It’s strange how we see ourselves, I know, I suffer the same thing! But we see you as having a massive talent, very easy on the eye! and very informative, don’t stop been you! You have an amazing life! We just unfortunately don’t have enough happy hormones in our 🧠, it’s annoying at time! But it makes us, us! Take care xxxxxx
Thank you so much Andrea. I just wanted give a little bit of an update as I know a lot of people struggle in various ways and sometimes it helps knowing others feel how you do. I really appreciate you watching the videos. I hope you are doing well!
Just showed my hubby your video and like me he was so moved by your emotional comments about how you were not feeling great as we fully understand how you feel. Your film work is fantastic but love the personal side too.
Great to see you back vlogging again , awesome drone footage we were lucky enough to stay one night there a few years ago and we loved it , you certainly did Anna Maria island justice it's not just all about the theme parks there are some beautiful places around , we always make sure we try somewhere new 🙂 x
Thanks so much Angela. I really appreciate you watching. If you’ve stayed there then you already know how beautiful it is there. My intention is to make as much content as I can from areas that are interesting and beautiful around Florida. Thank you again.
KEEP GOING. Sometimes that is slow (or even stopped) but as long as you are facing forward you are going. We are all here and love whatever you want to share with us. Your images are beautiful and you cannot compare what you are creating to someone else’s. You bring your perspective and create from that point. Congratulations on the new opportunities, I am not shocked as you are seriously talented. Thank you for sharing this piece of your life.
Hi Chris. A wise man once told me about putting on some different goggles and seeing things through the positive pair. It's a life skill that I learnt that day and his good advice was life changing. So, as I have previously stated and will repeat because it is true, the quality of your video is by far the best of the Florida vloggers and its a delight to see you are in the right place to make a return. With your keen eye for what a good video looks like, I would encourage you to take a look at a few of the other Florida vloggers work and just compare. If you will allow yourself you will appreciate the difference in quality. Fantastic to see you back and throw those old goggles away. Best wishes.
Hey! First of all thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I always try and find the positives in everything, but for the better part of my life, sometimes my glasses get a little fogged up and scratched lol. I really appreciate what you say about my videos and it is so nice to know you enjoy them. I tend to not compare them to anyone else if I am honest. I think each person has their own way of doing things and the internet is a big enough place for everyone to do something. I am sure for every person who enjoys my videos there would be many irritated at having to listen to me drone on 😂. Thank you so much again for the kind comment and hope you are well. See you in the next one. Chris
Great to see you back Chris, your vlogs have a raw natural style which is refreshing to watch. I e always wanted to visit AMI and won’t have a chance to during our trip this year as we’ve scheduled in visiting some other places already like Winter Garden 😊 after watching your previous vlogs and The Lodge Guys. But definitely on the list for our next visit!
Thank you so much Claire. I really appreciate that and you taking the time to watch. You will really enjoy winter garden, but if you ever get the chance to visit AMI, I highly recommend it. It’s very beautiful. Thank you again.
I love your content, you have such a great eye for photography and videography. If it helps at all, I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for a lot of my life and a few weeks ago I got diagnosed with cancer. Obviously not a good thing but it really puts things in perspective. Live every day as happy as you can Chris! Hope you’re doing ok xx
Thank you so much Sam, I really appreciate that, and you taking the time to watch. I am so sorry so hear that you have been diagnosed with cancer. I truly hope that treatment can be swift and successful for you. Take care.
Hi Chris It's great to see you back. We have missed you.... alot. I for one will always be here waiting for the next upload, whenever or how long between videos. You capture everything so well and almost make me feel as I'm there. I understand your creative 'thing'. I take cycling photo's, as in racing, Tour de France, Tour of Britain, stage races for example. I managed to snag a gig of shooting the cycling in Olympics 2012.... Best time if my life... Obviously its very fast moving, you dont think too much about what your shooting..... you just get lost in it! Before you know it the racing is over and you have hundreds of images to process (I should RAW. But, I had to shoot a friends wedding and absolutely hated it... I was so super critical of myself, and hated every shot I'd taken. I missed the arty bit, doing things on the fly i suppose. Thankfully, they loved them! It sounds like you've found your niche, im so pleased for you, go with it and enjoy it. Until the next one (however long that may be) take care and I along with many others will be waiting patiently.
Hey Chrissie, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. That sounds like an amazing experience getting to shoot at the Olympics. I bet you need fast lenses for getting sharp shots of fast moving cyclists. I am with you. I do not think I could do wedding photography. I have done a few engagement shoots and a maternity shoot, but weddings are so important to the individuals, that I don't want that pressure lol. Again, thank you so much and I hope you are well!
It's great to see you again Chris.. were sorry to hear you've been having some issues.. your video's are some of the best in terms of quality and the thought that goes into them.. its not easy trying to make video's especially ones that captivate people and you seem like a guy people would like to know.. hope it ain't another 126 days for the next one.. Good luck mate.. yes we're from the UK...
Goodmorning ,missed this video somehow until last night. Life is short, you must have alot of courage within yourself to move to America. Your videos are great quality and put together well. You don't need to be perfect to be loved. Hoping you vlog while in Mexico, would be great to see some footage. Just keep being yourself. You have an awesome opportunity , you deserve. take care
Hi Iona, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I very much appreciate it. I will try my best to take some footage from Mexico if I am not too busy. Thank you again and hope you are well!
Another fantastic video. Btw I’m no professional but I do personally love how you’re videos are presented and find them very informative. I’m so glad you had the courage to come back and that you’re feeling better. You do need to look after yourself and do need to do what’s right for you but I sit here hopeful that you will carry on 😉. You take care and keep believing in yourself. #YOGOL - live it ❤️ 🤞 for you’re exciting future ventures. Thank you Chris 😁
Have missed your vlogs Chris, so glad you're ok & feeling better. I've always enjoyed your style of recording, far better than a lot of other youtubers. You have a great talent there so be proud 💕 take care x
Chris sorry to hear you have not been feeling great we guessed all was not well when you kept out of The Lodge Boys videos when they were over. Your viewers will always be here waiting for anything you are kind enough to share with us quality always wins over quantity and your work is always quality. You have aways had a clear talent and it was only going to be a matter of time until you got asked to do more professional stuff we are so pleased for you.
Hey Guys, Thanks so much for watching and for sticking around lol!! I am doing Ok now thank you. I am a believer in quality over quantity, but I would like to have at least 2 videos in the next 126 days lol! I really appreciate the support. Hope you are well!
Great vlog Chris hope you and jen are OK love you both got to know you both through nick and leigh glad to hear you are finding your own way through photography and vlogs keep on going xx
😂. Thanks so much!! That’s awesome. I hope you have an amazing trip. Siesta key is my favorite beach in Florida I think. Go to the sub zero ice cream shop there 😋
Pumped things are going so well for you in the videography and photography business and you are feeling better in yourself. You are a special person with a special talent, just keep following your internal compass and things will work out. Oh and I now you keep your camera in the fridge 😀
Hey guys, thank you so much. I always appreciate your support. Things are going Ok, but we will see where it goes. Thank you for your kind words. Hope to see you soon for a beer! Fridge camera is a trade secret 😂
The island is getting smaller. Climate Change is causing this. This video also educate others how serious it is and we should take action to prevent more lands from going underwater.
Hi Chris I am just showing my husband Andy this video as we were wanting to do a day out to Ann Marie Island. He was interested in the renting of the golf buggy. Where did you leave your car while with the buggy and was it easy to park the buggy? Ps just noticed you have a Frank Turner t shirt on - we love him - Andy changed the song Wessex boy to Essex boy to sing at our local pub
Hi Chris 👋 I'm not sure if you still read any comments on TH-cam anymore? But i miss these quirky little stupid vlogs 😢.its been over a year now and if you get the time could you possibly please make a update vlog for us please 🙏..if your unable to at the moment I'm sat here waiting and hoping .TTFN 😊
In all honesty I haven’t read on here for some time. I kind of left the channel to stagnate. There will be some videos soon! Thank you for the message. I very much appreciate it :)
Not even watched it yet but I’m that confident it’ll be epic I’m going to say great video as always and leave a like. ****EDIT**** Don’t for one second think that your content is irrelevant, as you know via Instagram (JSN) I’m currently not having the best of times health wise (in addition to PTSD/MH) and I find your content extremely motivational and once I’m feeling up to it I’m going to be dusting off my camera gear and getting back to shooting photos and video and that is down to the inspiration I get from your videos. Keep on keeping on Chris and remember it really is ok to not be ok.
Thanks for a great video. Enjoy you banter and I think you do a great job. Looking forward to more of your work.
Thank you so much Steven, I really appreciate it! :)
Great seeing ya back. You really are a good guy,to watch and listen to. Hopefully more to come 😀
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Hope you are well!
Great video Chris! Thank you for uploading. You have real creative talent please continue the good work as with TH-cam you never know where it will lead! Exciting times xx 😘
Thanks so much Tracey, I really appreciate you watching the videos! i hope to have some new videos soon! 😊
Just stumbled on your video tonight…loved it…keep up the good work👍
The video was lovely. You have a nice face to look at and a nice voice to listen to. Thank you. My vacation plans just went in the trash because of Ian (the storm). So I was hoping to get a peek at some other florida islands. To possibly save the vacation. Thank you again and wishing you many happy travels and better health.
Thank you so much Bonnie! I really appreciate that. I’m sorry to hear that your vacation plans were cancelled but glad you are safe. Anna Maria island is definitely worth a visit if you get the chance. Thanks again!
I have said b4 you are one beautiful soul Chris ❤ I love to watch all you post stay well and strong and good luck in everything you do ❤
Thank you so much Debi. I really do appreciate that. I hope that you are doing well! :)
Hi lm so pleased you came back l enjoyed video very much but more than that your honesty is very refreshing,wish you all the best,Denise .

Great to see you back in front of the camera, thanks for sharing your journey
Thanks so much bud. Hope you’re well.
Sorry Chris - late on this one. Great to have a video from you - and of course still here to watch it. Thoroughly enjoy every video you put out. Hope you’re doing good; see you in the next one.

Thanks so much Dan. As always, it’s truly appreciated. Hope you are doing well. Chris
Video was great, as always, Keep Going! 🙌🏼😍
Thank you so much! :)
Hi Chris missed this one when you posted, great to see you back on. Great vlog as always.
Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it!
Lovely scenes of the island. Very nice video and whenever you manage to post a video is great. I am a lot older than you but have gone through similar.

Chris, I found you quite some time ago through The Lodge Guys. I enjoy all the content you choose to give us and when I got the notification of a new video I dropped whatever I was doing to watch it. Such a beautiful place to film and visit....maybe one day I will visit myself. Thank you for seeing this video through and posting it, you are SO talented!!! I wish you much success in your other projects as well.
Thank you so much Julie! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. It really is a beautiful part of Florida to dis it. If you ever get the chance I think you would really enjoy a visit there. Thank you for your kind comment. Hope you are well.
Chris another amazing vlog your footage as just awesome, I think your great & I don’t know you personally I found you through the lodge guys to, your fab and doing a great job I put myself down sometimes to so I know how you feel. Keep going be strong we love ya.
Thanks so much Clare. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. We are all our own worst critics! Thank you again and hope you’re doing well.
Hey Chris, great to see you back and again with a top quality vlog. So sorry to hear you not been feeling your best. You know we are all our own worst critics and can never see what everyone else sees. We returned from Florida last week and had amazing time. We visited your town and totally loved it. We agreed that we would love to live in Winter Garden ! We checked out Rosallie French cafe and enjoyed drinks sat outside Plant St Market. Such a great laid back vibe, wish we could have spent the whole day there.
Hey Bob. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. So glad you had a great trip and that you enjoyed visiting Winter Garden! Rosalie is amazing :). Thanks again and hope you’re doing well.
Amazing content as per usual Chris, your vlogs are truly beautiful to watch, even the golf cart chat! I’m really pleased you’ve come back to TH-cam and hopefully you’ll be able cheer us Brits up with the amazing imagery that you create! Hope we get to see some of your professional work too soon! Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks so much Julian. I really appreciate you watching and glad to hear that you enjoy them. 😂 i got absolutely soaked moments after turning the camera off lol. Hopefully I will get the chance to upload again a lot sooner next time. Thanks again and hope you are well. :)
Keep on trucking Chris, life deals some hard blows, but someone said to me that god won't send you nothing we can't handle, do I believe this? Not sure, but loving the video, a place I would like to visit but now its highly unlikely, even coming back to Florida is probably unlikely so you filming this gives me a chance to see things I may not be able to see for real in the future. Love your honesty and keep up the good work and enjoy life! btw love your accent, I can hear an English west country twang I think, I know you are from good ol' blighty. Not sure where you are from in England , but you definitely have a mixture of accents. You are so talented!
Thanks so much Kath, I really appreciate it. I’m glad to hear you enjoy the videos.
Lol. Ok so my accent. I’m originally from Richmond in London and I grew up in London and the surrounding areas, but before living in Florida, I lived in Spain for a few years and then Texas, so my accent is a little all over the place at times. It can go from English sounding to having a definite twang lol. Thank you again and hope you’re doing well :)
Loved it Chris! Your videos are pure and I love Anna Maria island! Thanks for taking the time to produce such quality
Thanks so much Tom, I really appreciate it. AMI is a beautiful place, I would like to have shown more, but the weather was very on and off. Thanks again and hope you are well!
Can't wait to visit here soon ❤️❤️❤️
You’ll love the Island.
Great video Chris! So glad you are back! The Island looks beautiful! Your B-roll and editing are so amazing! Can't wait to see your next video.
Thank you so much Lisa. I really appreciate you watching. Hopefully the next video will be a little sooner than this one 😂. Hope you’re well
Quality of your video is amazing . You are by my house on bean point . Glad you enjoyed it !!
Ah thank you so much!! That’s amazing you have a home in such a beautiful place. I appreciate you watching.
Lovely to see your camera skills showcasing Anna Maria Island. It looks beautiful. So glad you are 'keeping going' ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Thank you.❤ Anna Maria Island 7 miles of paradise.
Thank you!!
Great to see you again Chris, I love your content, it's honest and interesting. Great music , great drone shots, great pace. Don't be shy of being on camera, you're a cool guy lost in Florida - enjoy yourself. We see so many videos made by tourists and visitors to Orlando it's so lovely that you take us to other beautiful parts of central Florida. I'm back in Jan/Feb 2023 and will defiantly head over to Anna Maria Island.
keep them coming.
Hey, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am so glad to hear you enjoy the videos. I think you will love a trip out to the island if you can make it! It is about 2.5 hours drive from Orlando. Thanks again and hope you are well. :)
Great to see you again hope you are well. Great vlog as always stay safe mate - Kevin & Cyndy UK
Thanks so much guys. Hope you’re doing well! :)
@@chrislostinflorida if you need a chat we are here for you
Ahh so lovely to see you back 😊 glad you are feeling better, amazing content as always ,you are so talented and lovely to hear your new ventures well deserved recognition 💕
Thank you so much Suzanne. I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well. :)
The island is breathtaking. Those white sandy beaches look so inviting. Thanks for sharing a place that I’ve never heard of and would love to visit
Thank you so much for watching Pam. AMI really is beautiful and I highly recommend a visit there. Hope you are well.
It is so great to see you back Chris. You are one talented guy and we love watching your vlogs. You’ve such a calming voice. Never give up what your doing, it’s amazing ❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. :)
Glad your back, really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Love your honesty on everything
Thanks so much Rob. I appreciate it :)
You have a gift..you are so creative and your videos are stunning!
Thank you Shelley. 😊
It’s lovely to see you back Chris : ) Anyone who has watched so much as a clip of your TH-cam content knows you are destined for bigger things, it’s great to hear of the new opportunities coming your way. Don’t ever feel you need to explain why you’ve not uploaded for a while, we’re out here watching your phenomenal content for free, you have never asked for anything in return, upload as little or as often as feels right for you. As always, this one was well worth the wait, I’m blown away every time I see one of your vlogs, Anna Maria Island has just been added to next year’s trip, you’re costing me a bloody fortune with these vlogs!! Take care how you go.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I really appreciate it. AMI is a really beautiful place and I would highly recommend a day or 2 out there. Even in the storm the sunset was beautiful. Hope you are well! :)
Great to see you back bud , bean point and anne marie beach looks so chill and the island in general is amazing.Great share love your videos keep them coming 🙂👍
Thanks so much! It really is a lovely place to visit. I highly recommend it as a place for a day or 2. Hope you are well
Great to see you Chris. You are very talented and good luck with all the projects you are working on. Can’t wait to see what the future brings for you.
Ah thanks so much Colin. I really appreciate that. I hope to make more videos on here, more frequently. Thanks again and hope you are well
Excited to see you back Chris. You have been missed. I have so much respect for you opening up and sharing your personal struggles. You have a kind heart and I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the photography projects. The vlog was great as usual because you have talent and make your viewers feel comfortable and present.
Take care. Hope to see you sooner than later 😊
Thank you so much Wendy. I really appreciate you watching and leaving such a nice comment. I am having a lot of fun with photography and video and even if nothing comes of it, just the creating part of it is enough. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I hope to have another a lot sooner next time. Hope you are well. :)
Great to see you back and thank you for being so open. So refreshing to see such honesty. Keep going 😁x
Thanks so much Amanda! Hope you are doing well!
I love the Gulf of Mexico, Anna Maria island is beautiful! Don’t over think things Chris , you are so talented x
Thanks so much Ilse! It really is beautiful out there. Hope you are well :)
In those 126 days I’ve frequently checked to see if I’ve missed something! Loved it as usual
Now……let’s not wait another 126 days! Remove any doubts you have as everything I’ve seen shows you’re a very talented young man
Keep going 👊
Thanks so much John, I truly appreciate that. Hope you are well!
Another excellent vlog, worth the 126 day wait, glad to see you back and looking well 😊
Thanks so much Neil. I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well
Great to see you back! As always your production is film studio quality....absolutely stunning. Well done mate, keep going.
(Darren from Suffolk, UK)
Thank you so much Darren. I really appreciate it. Hope you’re doing good and that Suffolk is treating you well! Cheers!
Hi Chris, thank you again for another great video. Your videos are a great standard and we can see you have talent. We have booked an extended stay in Florida next winter and had booked 12 nights on AMI, I am so pleased we have, it looks fantastic. We are still here in the background of your life and appreciate that you do these videos as you are able. Never apologise, it’s your life, live it as best as you can, we wish you the best with your new projects and health. Thank you for doing what you do. 😀
Thank you so much Carol. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. You will really love the island. it is so laid back with plenty of spots to eat and drink and lovely beaches. The golf cart was a great way to get around and really not too expensive. Thank you again! 🙂
Great to have you back. Always worth waiting for a video from you 💕
Thanks so much Chris! :)
I am a silent watcher. But always think your videos are so well done. That said I can't even make a tik tok! I am a manager of surgery in s hospital and it is incredibly pressured. I struggle a lot feeling periods of not being well but like you say in my adult life now I know I have responsibility so manage to cope. Hope you are coming back out the other side. Xx
Thank you so much Ange. I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching along too! I know a lot of people struggle with many things and so I just felt mentioning it might help to talk about it briefly. Thank you again and hope you are doing well :)
Hi Chris, I just wanted to wish you and the family all the best for the new year and hope your Christmas was awesome as well.
Take care, mate. All the best from Matthew and the whole Dodd family
Thank you so much Matthew. Same to you and all your family. Have a wonderful 2023
this is a great island with old florida vibe....great vid thank you
I agree. It’s a great spot. Thanks so much for watching.
Fabulous video , you have a true gift with how you see things and how you interpret it x just keep going as you say xx
Thank you so much Lisa! :)
So good to see you back! Another great vlog of course! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks so much Harriet :).
Hi Chris, just back from Florida. We had a beach day in Indian rock. Wish we had travelled the extra few miles. Didn't realise that anna maria island was just down the road. Even on a stormy day you make it look amazing. 😏
Your time and effort in making the videos really does show, they are always excellent. you don't realise how much joy your videos bring to the people who watch them.
Keep going.😃
Hey Matthew. I totally missed this comment. Thank you so much for always being so supportive , I really appreciate it. Hope you had the best time out here!! 🙌🏼
So glad to see you back Chris. I love your Instagram content. You are crazy talented and have a great eye for fantastic composition. That said, it's always extra special when I see you've dropped a video. The scenes you capture combined with your edits are so beautiful plus we get the bonus of your personal thoughts and narration. You are so hard on yourself as I guess most of us are, but I wish you could see your talent through our eyes. We love all your content. You are so talented and truly worthy of the successes coming your way. Keep Going!
Thank you so much Tanya! I really appreciate your kind comment. I will try and get another video together before 126 days lol!! Hope you are well!
Hi Chris. Good to see you back on YT. I’m pleased to hear that things are happening for you with the photography/videography….you clearly have a passion for it.. i’m sure others have said this before but YOU are creative and YOU are talented so its not surprising that they have looked at your work and signed you up. What you do on your channel will be different from what they can with a full crew, but your audience will no doubt benefit from the new techniques you learn. Please continue to look after yourself and your relationships. Listen to your body and get help where you can. Loving this video by the way….AMI tourist board should use this! All the very best xx
Hi Hayley. Firstly, thanks so much for watching the videos and for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I have had a few small opportunities come along and I’m exploring them. It’s exciting, but I’m just enjoying making things at the moment more than anything. If you ever get the chance to visit AMI, i highly recommend it. Thank you again and I hope you are doing well. :)
I found you while researching Winter Garden and Mount Dora (considering moving to the area). I’m so glad for your introductions and tips. Your videos have an artistic quality that is very rare on TH-cam; I enjoy watching you and relish your creativity. Proof? I am writing this from the patio at Rosalie (almond croissant is to die for and the latte is top drawer). Don’t brush off my positive comments, I am a designer with 5 Emmy Awards who also serves as a judge. I see you. I appreciate what you share of yourself too. Pursue your passion, whatever that may be.
Hey John. Thank you so much for watching. I really do appreciate it. I’m glad to hear you made a visit to winter garden and enjoyed it. Rosalie is the best! Positive comments are something I do struggle with, but I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a complimentary comment! I hope you are well :)
Dude, we are so glad you are back. Thank you so much for your update and sharing whats going on in your life. Thanks for reminding us that its sometimes to be ok not being ok. I look forward always to your amazing, personal and well produced content. I recently bought a home in orlando and your my number one source of info about florida seen through the eyes of a Brit. Dont feel guilty about 126 days.....we will be here patiently waiting for when your ok with your next great video you want to share.
Thanks so much Chris, I really appreciate that. Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment. That is really exciting news that you bought a place in Orlando. I hope it all works out great for you. Hope you are doing well and see you in the next one. Chris
Glad to see you are back and thank you for your honestly. Life sucks sometimes and throws curve balls and challenges , but where one door closes another one opens and this appears to be the case with you .
I can understand you being self critical , you're an artist , and a talented one at that , and you are your harshest critic, but by your increasing number of subscribers it's proof enough that we can see the talent in you . Your photography and edgy music make your vlogs interesting to watch and enjoy.
Keep doing what you are doing and well done on the avenues that have opened up for you to shine
Thank you so much Julie. Life can indeed get rough at times and I know many people feel that, so I thought a small update was worthwhile. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you are doing well :)
Sounds like your videography gig next year will be a great experience .Glad you are back making great vlogs for us and that you are feeling ready to come back.
Thank you so much Margaret! I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well. :)
Glad to see you are back in the saddle again (Aerosmith reference). Always enjoy your work. I still think you would like Amelia Island. Cheers
Thanks so much Scott, I appreciate it. It is on the list :)
So good to see you back Chris. Visited Anna Maria island a few years back it’s a beautiful beach , not sure if it’s the same restaurant you went to but we had a lovely time with family and friends. Take it easy and thank you for great content xx
Thank you so much Janis, I appreciate it. It really is a beautiful place isn't it. The Sandbar restaurant was right there on the sand of Anna Maria beach. The food was really good, though I obviously did not show it lol! Thanks so much again and hope you are well!
Chris it’s great to see you back. We were worried about you we all love your vlogs on utube so full of great interesting films no wonder you have new venture in that field you are so talented. We hope to see you back soon if not good luck in Mexico etc., loads of feel good hugs from Billingham family
Ah thank you so much guys. I really do appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I will try and make something new a little bit quicker than last time lol! Hope you are all well.
Sometimes we need to take time to heal without judgment for as long as it takes and make no apologies. True talent comes from admitting mistakes and being humbled by what other artists can do. You have the talent and confidence even if you can’t admit it to yourself but that’s okay. 😉. Always love watching your videos and always love seeing you🍻. Our next trip to the Sunshine State will involve some day trips along the East Coast in search of food, drink, and unique places. Hopefully we will see you next year ❤️😘.
Hey Sarah! How are you!!! Thank you so much as always for always being so supportive. Sorry we could not find time to meet up on your recent trip, so we will definitely make up for it on your next one! Hope you are doing well and thank you again. Chris ❤️
Lovely to see you back on You Tube. I have just sent your vlog about dealing with Genie+ to friends going to Orlando as it is the best one I have seen on the subject. Sorry to hear you have had problems with your health and understand how you feel as my son also has similar problems in the past. So glad you have had some work on the back of your excellent vlogs so keep doing them as we love them.
Thank you so much. It feels nice to have finally uploaded something to the channel after a long break. Thank you for watching and thank you so much for sharing my other video, I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well :)
Hey Chris 🤗 we are our own worst critics and we all do that to ourselves. Thank you for being open and sharing with us - it’s definitely 100% helpful. I always love your videos and think they are amazing - the footage you capture and how you put it together always makes me smile. I absolutely loved the drone footage and aerial views - truly beautiful ☺️ It would be a sad day if you stopped making TH-cam videos but at the end of the day you’ve got to do what is right for you so whatever you decide to do in the future that’s for the best will be the right decision. Take care of yourself 🥰 xxx
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you both watching and leaving a comment. I am a relatively private person, but I felt maybe explaining a little bit might be of benefit to other people who might feel that way sometimes. Anna Maria island really is beautiful and tbh it is not that difficult to make it look beautiful as it kinda does the work for you lol. I will not stop, I just need to find a rhythm that works and will try and make another video slightly faster next time :). Thanks again and hope you are well.
We just got back from there and I remember seeing you on the beach. Great video!
Ah really! Hope you had a great time and thanks for watching!
This was a really great vlog, not only through your camera work (which is always great) but through your honesty about how you are and the importance of giving yourself time to recharge.
It’s nice to see you back and hearing about all your upcoming projects, can’t wait to watch the future vlogs!
Thank you so much Jennie. I really appreciate it. I just needed a bit of a reset and hopefully the next video will not take quite so long lol! Thanks again and hope you are doing well
Hi Chris great to see you back in the channel, the 126 days were worth waiting for 😀 stunning views of the island looked so nice, well worth making a visit next time we are out that way. Have missed you but totally understand where your coming from, but have followed you also on IG so know you are doing great with your other projects. Like you say “keep going” 👋🏻😊
Hey Lisa. Thanks so much for watching, as always, I really appreciate it. The island is beautiful and well worth a visit. Thanks for sticking around and I’ll try and make another one sooner this time :). Thanks for all of the support :))
May have been 126 days Chris but as always well worth the wait, fantastic drone footage just brilliant as always, nice to have you back 😄 hope Jen and Luna are well x
Thank you so much Amanda. I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for the video. The weather didn’t cooperate but you’re back and that’s a good thing. I have friends who travel here and it’s a beautiful spot.
Thanks so much Kathy! It really is a beautiful part of Florida! Hope you are well
Hi Chris, glad to see you back, it’s great to see you and I love the way, your open and honest, with how your feeling! It’s mad how you can be so friendly, open and yet you suffer inside! It’s strange how we see ourselves, I know, I suffer the same thing! But we see you as having a massive talent, very easy on the eye! and very informative, don’t stop been you! You have an amazing life! We just unfortunately don’t have enough happy hormones in our 🧠, it’s annoying at time! But it makes us, us! Take care xxxxxx
Thank you so much Andrea. I just wanted give a little bit of an update as I know a lot of people struggle in various ways and sometimes it helps knowing others feel how you do. I really appreciate you watching the videos. I hope you are doing well!
Just showed my hubby your video and like me he was so moved by your emotional comments about how you were not feeling great as we fully understand how you feel. Your film work is fantastic but love the personal side too.
Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it. I hope you guys are well :)
Great to see you back vlogging again , awesome drone footage we were lucky enough to stay one night there a few years ago and we loved it , you certainly did Anna Maria island justice it's not just all about the theme parks there are some beautiful places around , we always make sure we try somewhere new 🙂 x
Thanks so much Angela. I really appreciate you watching. If you’ve stayed there then you already know how beautiful it is there. My intention is to make as much content as I can from areas that are interesting and beautiful around Florida. Thank you again.
KEEP GOING.
Sometimes that is slow (or even stopped) but as long as you are facing forward you are going. We are all here and love whatever you want to share with us. Your images are beautiful and you cannot compare what you are creating to someone else’s. You bring your perspective and create from that point. Congratulations on the new opportunities, I am not shocked as you are seriously talented.
Thank you for sharing this piece of your life.
Thank you Laura. I very much appreciate the kind message! I hope you are doing well :)
Hi Chris. A wise man once told me about putting on some different goggles and seeing things through the positive pair. It's a life skill that I learnt that day and his good advice was life changing. So, as I have previously stated and will repeat because it is true, the quality of your video is by far the best of the Florida vloggers and its a delight to see you are in the right place to make a return. With your keen eye for what a good video looks like, I would encourage you to take a look at a few of the other Florida vloggers work and just compare. If you will allow yourself you will appreciate the difference in quality. Fantastic to see you back and throw those old goggles away. Best wishes.
Hey! First of all thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I always try and find the positives in everything, but for the better part of my life, sometimes my glasses get a little fogged up and scratched lol. I really appreciate what you say about my videos and it is so nice to know you enjoy them. I tend to not compare them to anyone else if I am honest. I think each person has their own way of doing things and the internet is a big enough place for everyone to do something. I am sure for every person who enjoys my videos there would be many irritated at having to listen to me drone on 😂. Thank you so much again for the kind comment and hope you are well. See you in the next one. Chris
Enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you .
Thank you so much Dianne. I really appreciate it
Great video, good luck with your future Chris and well done for discussing your health x
Thank you so much Linda, I really appreciate you watching. Hope you are well.
Thanks, I'll have to check it out.. My wife adn I lived in the area in our youth but never explored the Island..
It’s a really beautiful spot to spend some time. Thanks for taking the time to watch
Great to see you back Chris, your vlogs have a raw natural style which is refreshing to watch. I e always wanted to visit AMI and won’t have a chance to during our trip this year as we’ve scheduled in visiting some other places already like Winter Garden 😊 after watching your previous vlogs and The Lodge Guys. But definitely on the list for our next visit!
Thank you so much Claire. I really appreciate that and you taking the time to watch. You will really enjoy winter garden, but if you ever get the chance to visit AMI, I highly recommend it. It’s very beautiful. Thank you again.
I love your content, you have such a great eye for photography and videography. If it helps at all, I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for a lot of my life and a few weeks ago I got diagnosed with cancer. Obviously not a good thing but it really puts things in perspective. Live every day as happy as you can Chris! Hope you’re doing ok xx
Thank you so much Sam, I really appreciate that, and you taking the time to watch. I am so sorry so hear that you have been diagnosed with cancer. I truly hope that treatment can be swift and successful for you. Take care.
Loved this, came just at right time Chris as heading here from UK in 30 days time, actually think a storm sky sunset is the best sunset 👍😊
Thank you so much for watching Lesley! You’ll have a great time, it is absolutely beautiful there. Thanks for watching.
Hi Chris
It's great to see you back. We have missed you.... alot.
I for one will always be here waiting for the next upload, whenever or how long between videos. You capture everything so well and almost make me feel as I'm there.
I understand your creative 'thing'. I take cycling photo's, as in racing, Tour de France, Tour of Britain, stage races for example. I managed to snag a gig of shooting the cycling in Olympics 2012.... Best time if my life...
Obviously its very fast moving, you dont think too much about what your shooting..... you just get lost in it! Before you know it the racing is over and you have hundreds of images to process (I should RAW. But, I had to shoot a friends wedding and absolutely hated it... I was so super critical of myself, and hated every shot I'd taken. I missed the arty bit, doing things on the fly i suppose. Thankfully, they loved them!
It sounds like you've found your niche, im so pleased for you, go with it and enjoy it.
Until the next one (however long that may be) take care and I along with many others will be waiting patiently.
Hey Chrissie, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. That sounds like an amazing experience getting to shoot at the Olympics. I bet you need fast lenses for getting sharp shots of fast moving cyclists. I am with you. I do not think I could do wedding photography. I have done a few engagement shoots and a maternity shoot, but weddings are so important to the individuals, that I don't want that pressure lol. Again, thank you so much and I hope you are well!
It's great to see you again Chris.. were sorry to hear you've been having some issues.. your video's are some of the best in terms of quality and the thought that goes into them.. its not easy trying to make video's especially ones that captivate people and you seem like a guy people would like to know.. hope it ain't another 126 days for the next one.. Good luck mate.. yes we're from the UK...
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I aim to make another video a little faster next time 😂 Hope the UK is treating you well.
Goodmorning ,missed this video somehow until last night. Life is short, you must have alot of courage within yourself to move to America. Your videos are great quality and put together well. You don't need to be perfect to be loved. Hoping you vlog while in Mexico, would be great to see some footage. Just keep being yourself. You have an awesome opportunity , you deserve.
take care
Hi Iona, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I very much appreciate it. I will try my best to take some footage from Mexico if I am not too busy. Thank you again and hope you are well!
Another fantastic video. Btw I’m no professional but I do personally love how you’re videos are presented and find them very informative. I’m so glad you had the courage to come back and that you’re feeling better. You do need to look after yourself and do need to do what’s right for you but I sit here hopeful that you will carry on 😉. You take care and keep believing in yourself. #YOGOL - live it ❤️
🤞 for you’re exciting future ventures. Thank you Chris 😁
Thank you so much Lisa! I am so glad to hear you enjoy the videos and appreciate you watching. I hope you are doing well! :)
@@chrislostinflorida thank you for taking the time and having the patience to reply. It’s very much appreciated ❤️
Have missed your vlogs Chris, so glad you're ok & feeling better.
I've always enjoyed your style of recording, far better than a lot of other youtubers.
You have a great talent there so be proud 💕 take care x
Thank you Sandy, I really appreciate that. I hope you are doing well! :)
Chris sorry to hear you have not been feeling great we guessed all was not well when you kept out of The Lodge Boys videos when they were over. Your viewers will always be here waiting for anything you are kind enough to share with us quality always wins over quantity and your work is always quality. You have aways had a clear talent and it was only going to be a matter of time until you got asked to do more professional stuff we are so pleased for you.
Hey Guys, Thanks so much for watching and for sticking around lol!! I am doing Ok now thank you. I am a believer in quality over quantity, but I would like to have at least 2 videos in the next 126 days lol! I really appreciate the support. Hope you are well!
Glad to see you back Chris :-)
Thanks so much Chris!
Thanks for this. This is why I am interviewing. Been stuck in my head .
Thank you Jane. You must let me know how the process goes for you!!
@@chrislostinflorida will fly out there tomorrow
Message me and let me know how it goes. Good luck!
Nice to stalk you again x 😍

Great vlog Chris hope you and jen are OK love you both got to know you both through nick and leigh glad to hear you are finding your own way through photography and vlogs keep on going xx
Thank you so much Alison, I really appreciate you following along. I hope you are doing well!
Just dropping in to say I hope you’re doing alright Chris.
About time 😂 love your vlogs we arrive tmoz in Orlando after 3 years of waiting, and where visiting siesta key and beyond 👍🏻
😂. Thanks so much!! That’s awesome. I hope you have an amazing trip. Siesta key is my favorite beach in Florida I think. Go to the sub zero ice cream shop there 😋
@@chrislostinflorida will defo give a try and also the beer and food place in winter gardens you vlogged 👍🏻
@@maceymurphy447 hope you enjoy them both :)
Pumped things are going so well for you in the videography and photography business and you are feeling better in yourself. You are a special person with a special talent, just keep following your internal compass and things will work out. Oh and I now you keep your camera in the fridge 😀
Hey guys, thank you so much. I always appreciate your support. Things are going Ok, but we will see where it goes. Thank you for your kind words. Hope to see you soon for a beer! Fridge camera is a trade secret 😂
@@chrislostinflorida Whne my GoPro was overheating on the Walmart vlog I stuck it in the freezer for a few minutes 🤣
@@ThemeParkBazza lol! I hear Walmart has a fairly extensive freezer selection :)
The island is getting smaller. Climate Change is causing this. This video also educate others how serious it is and we should take action to prevent more lands from going underwater.
Thank you for taking the time to watch Wayne, I appreciate you.
@@chrislostinflorida You're welcome! And I hope you're doing very well over there.
Hi Chris I am just showing my husband Andy this video as we were wanting to do a day out to Ann Marie Island. He was interested in the renting of the golf buggy. Where did you leave your car while with the buggy and was it easy to park the buggy?
Ps just noticed you have a Frank Turner t shirt on - we love him - Andy changed the song Wessex boy to Essex boy to sing at our local pub
Hi Chris 👋 I'm not sure if you still read any comments on TH-cam anymore? But i miss these quirky little stupid vlogs 😢.its been over a year now and if you get the time could you possibly please make a update vlog for us please 🙏..if your unable to at the moment I'm sat here waiting and hoping .TTFN 😊
In all honesty I haven’t read on here for some time. I kind of left the channel to stagnate. There will be some videos soon!
Thank you for the message. I very much appreciate it
:)
Hi just wondering how you are?x
I’m doing ok thank you. I haven’t read on TH-cam in some time, but I’m still here. Hopefully some videos soon
Thank you for reaching out.
Oh dear! Please try to get over yourself! If your going to do travel blogs, less you, more where you are!!!!!
Thanks so much for watching Tim!
Not even watched it yet but I’m that confident it’ll be epic I’m going to say great video as always and leave a like.
****EDIT****
Don’t for one second think that your content is irrelevant, as you know via Instagram (JSN) I’m currently not having the best of times health wise (in addition to PTSD/MH) and I find your content extremely motivational and once I’m feeling up to it I’m going to be dusting off my camera gear and getting back to shooting photos and video and that is down to the inspiration I get from your videos. Keep on keeping on Chris and remember it really is ok to not be ok.
😂. Thanks John, epic might be a stretch, but I really appreciate the support
@@chrislostinflorida definitely worthy of the accolade.
